Hi, I also have one more doubt. I am just editing Plain.c to make my own mechanism. Here once the username and password is sent to the server from client. The server will verify it and sends the response. After this step again the server needs to send a request asking for some other parameters. Once the client sends those parameters the server should receive it. How to handle this in plain.c?
The PLAIN mechanism is a protocol defined in RFC 4616. plain.c is it's implementation within cyrus sasl. RFC 3501 provides details about how SASL interactions (for all mechanisms) are initiated and completed for IMAP. I am not clear what you mean by "After this step again the server needs to send a request asking for some other parameters." Is this step related to authentication, or to some other aspect of the email protocol you are using? -- Dan White
